| The shrine, which
is dedicated to Lord Narasimha or Vishnu in the aspect of a lion, is built on the top of a
bill, which is about 800 feet above the sea level. A flight of step runs all the way from
the foot to the top of the temple, and a Ghat road is also under construction by which
intending pilgrims can reach the temple by road also. At the foot of the hill there are spacious choultries and sheds for the
comfortable stay of the pilgrims, with all the amenities like water and lighting. Pilgrims
may also have a bath in the sacred Pushkarani, which is about a furlong from the foot of
the hill. The way up the hill to the temple runs through picturesque trees etc. Near the
top of the northern side of the hill, in a wooded hollow surrounded by a wide circle of
higher ground resembling an amphitheater, is the temple of Lord Narasimha. This is a
famous and rich temple of the Northern Circars. |
